Chapter two hundred and thirteen: contention and non-contention
Ginger is still spicy!
After listening to the two suggestions from the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, Zhou Yang could only sigh like this.
The matter of uniting the Yang family is not a big deal, he will definitely be able to think of this when he looks back.
But using an old incident decades ago to attack the Gao family clearly shows the foresight of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.
More than fifty years ago, the Zhou family was in a difficult period of recession, and the inheritance was in danger of being cut off at any time.
At that time, Zhou Minghan did not even dare to leave the Yuquan Lake Oasis for the sake of his family's safety.
But even so, at that time, he could still think of using the Shadow Bead to preserve the evidence of the Gao family's murder and treasure grabbing. Isn't this foresight?
"Oh, Grandpa Zeng, your skills are really good!"
He raised his thumb with a happy face and praised Zhou Minghan's plan of "killing chickens to scare monkeys".
"Haha, I didn't expect that what I did on the spur of the moment would be effective now!"
Zhou Minghan chuckled and accepted Zhou Yang's praise in full.
After laughing for a while, his face became solemn, and he looked at Zhou Yang solemnly and said: "But this matter is also a reminder to me. If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. This kind of killing and seizing treasures
We, the Zhou family, can do nothing about it in the future, and we must not do it, otherwise the Gao family of today will not be the Zhou family of tomorrow!"
"My great-grandfather is right, my grandson will definitely remember your teachings!"
Zhou Yang nodded with a serious face and humbly accepted Zhou Minghan's warning.
Seeing this, Zhou Minghan nodded with satisfaction, then his face returned to normal and he smiled softly: "Of course, we don't have to take the initiative to kill people and seize the treasure, but if we find the unowned treasure and engage in a normal fight, it will still be fine.
, treasures are obtained by those who have a destiny. This destiny can be chance, luck, or strength and cultivation. When we, as immortal cultivators, encounter something that should be fought for during our cultivation, we must fight for it!"
When Zhou Yang heard this, he nodded repeatedly and said: "Of course, my grandson is not that pedantic person. If he really encounters that kind of situation, he will definitely fight to the end with his own means!"
Next, Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan rode the gryphon directly back to the Yuquan Lake Oasis. While returning, Zhou Yang also brought Zhou Guangxiang with him, who had been practicing in Fangshi for several years.
Now that the struggle between the Zhou family and the Chen family has become clear, Zhou Yang and Zhou Minghan are not at ease if Zhou Guangxiang is put here to practice alone.
And after several years of experience, Zhou Guangxiang has grown up a lot. This time I brought him back to prepare for him to go into seclusion to build his foundation.
After returning to the family, several foundation-building monks from the Zhou family discussed it and decided that Zhou Minghan would stay in seclusion on Yuquan Peak to recuperate, while Zhou Xuanhao would go to Haoyang Mountain to practice and free up the cave for Zhou Guangxiang to use for foundation-building.
Zhou Yang went to the Yang family in Jinquan Valley to visit Yang Xingyan, the head of the Yang family, to discuss the alliance with him.
Things were just as Zhou Minghan said. Yang Xingyan, who was preparing to open the Zifu, did not express his agreement to the alliance proposed by the Zhou family, but he did not completely reject it either.
After Zhou Yang talked and negotiated with him, the two parties finally agreed that the Zhou and Yang families would form a secret alliance, that is, they would not disclose the alliance to the public, but they agreed that when any family's Lingshan was attacked, the family that received the signal for help would
Everyone must go to rescue.
It is definitely unrealistic to expect the Yang family to directly help the Zhou family and the Chen family to fight against each other. Therefore, being able to form a secret alliance has achieved Zhou Yang's intended purpose.
So after reaching the agreement, he left the Yang family in Jinquan Valley, and then took the photo bead that the old patriarch Zhou Minghan kept back then to visit the foundation-building casual cultivator he mentioned.
This casual cultivator is named Zhong Ziming. He and another foundation-building casual cultivator live in seclusion on a third-level low-grade spiritual vein in the sea of sand to practice.
This third-level low-grade spiritual vein is somewhat similar to the "Qianji Cave" that Zhou Yang originally explored. There is no oasis nearby, only a vast sea of sand.
Zhou Yang took the map given by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan and searched for several days before he found the hermitage of Zhong Ziming, a casual cultivator, and met him.
"The Gao family, what a Gao family! I didn't expect that my brother Yan would be harmed by them!"
After Zhong Ziming saw the image in Zhou Minghan's photo bead, his face became angry. As expected, he hated the Gao family.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang looked at the other party with a stern face and said: "Zhou did not hide it from fellow Taoist Zhong. My Zhou family took this thing to find fellow Taoist Zhong. It was indeed with the intention of using fellow Taoist to attack Gao Dao."
Family thoughts!”
"But it is true that the Gao family killed someone to seize the treasure. Zhong Dao's friend was killed by him. Now he comes with evidence to avenge his friend. It is reasonable, reasonable and legal!"
"The promise that our Zhou family can give to fellow Taoists is that as long as they do not harm other innocent people and only target the Gao family, our Zhou family will definitely stand by fellow Taoists and help them solve the problem of those who come from Huang Shamen."
Side pressure!”
Zhong Ziming was able to successfully build a foundation as a casual cultivator. Of course he was not an idiot. It took decades for the Zhou family to come to the door with the photo-taking beads, and it was clear that they wanted to use him. If Zhou Yang was not even willing to admit this, it would be wrong.
Are you insulting the other person's intelligence?
So not only did he openly and proactively admit this, he also sincerely stated the help that the Zhou family could provide.
Sure enough, when he heard Zhou Yang say this, the expression on Zhong Ziming's face softened a lot.
He looked at Zhou Yang for a while with a sparkling light in his eyes, and suddenly said: "Fellow Daoist Zhou is very sincere, but Zhong still has a question that he wants to answer from Daoist Zhou. With the strength of the Zhou family, the Gao family should not be so overestimating their capabilities.
The one who provokes the Zhou family is the one, why does Zhou Daoyou have to come all the way to find Zhong to deal with the Gao family now?"
"Well... Zhou didn't hide it from fellow Taoist fellow Taoist. The Zhou family had some conflicts with the Chen family over some matters. Seeing this, the little man, the head of the Gao family, took the initiative to become the Chen family's lackey, eager to bite us Zhou.
The members of the family expressed their loyalty to the master, and naturally we, the Zhou family, had to respond to this!"
Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment, then frankly told the whole story.
The open fight between the Chen family and the Zhou family should soon spread in the circle of foundation-building monks in the Baisha River Oasis Cultivation World. As long as Zhong Ziming wanted to inquire, he was not afraid that he would not be able to find out the news, so he concealed it at this time.
Not only is the information useless, it will make them suspect that their motives are impure.
When Zhong Ziming heard his answer, his face suddenly became solemn. He couldn't help looking at him and asked: "How can fellow Taoist Zhou ensure that after Zhong seeks revenge on the Gao family, the two monks of the Purple Mansion, the ancestor of the Chen family and Chen Ping'an, will not
Will you take action to suppress Zhong for the Gao family?"
"To be honest, Zhou really can't guarantee this, so once Zhong Daoyou decides to kill the Gao family for revenge, he will definitely not be able to stay in the Baisha River Oasis to cultivate immortality in the future. And Zhou also believes that as long as Taoist Zhong leaves the Baisha River Oasis to cultivate
In the fairy world, the Chen family will definitely not go to war to find fellow Taoists just for the sake of a mere Gao family!"
Zhou Yang shook his head. He had no answer to Zhong Ziming's question at all.
If the Zhou family had the power to stop the two Zifu period monks from the Chen family, they would not come to Zhong Ziming to deal with the Gao family.
However, he was also afraid that Zhong Ziming would back down, so he went on to say: "However, although the Zhou family cannot help fellow Taoists block the two Zifu period monks from the Chen family, they can provide some third-level spiritual talismans for free and
Let us know that fellow Taoists will only need to break the Gao family's mountain-protecting formation and loot the Gao family's spiritual mountain. I believe that the collection of a foundation-building family will be enough for fellow Taoists to live a comfortable life after leaving the Baishahe Immortal Realm!"
"Oh, how many third-level spiritual talismans can your Zhou family provide?"
Zhong Ziming was indeed moved by Zhou Yang's words, and asked about the specific situation with a look of emotion on his face.
Zhou Yang had nothing to be reluctant to part with at this time, and took out ten low-grade third-level attack talismans made by Zhou Yuanchen on the spot and handed them to Zhong Ziming: "Do you think these are enough, Daoyou Zhong?"
Based on the price of one third-level low-grade spiritual talisman of five to six hundred spiritual stones, ten of them would be five to six thousand spiritual stones. The cost Zhou Yang spent to deal with the Gao family cannot be considered low.
Zhong Ziming is a casual cultivator, and this is the first time he has seen someone take out so many third-level spiritual talismans in so many years of practice.
He immediately took the spiritual talisman from Zhou Yang's hand and said repeatedly: "That's enough, that's enough. With these third-level spiritual talismans in hand, Zhong can kill that old dog of the Gao family even if he hits it with the spiritual talisman!"
It has to be said that Zhou Yang's proposal is extremely tempting to casual cultivators like him.
If he could kill the head of the Gao family and plunder the Gao family's spiritual mountain, Zhong Ziming would not have to worry about his cultivation resources in the next few decades. He could even go to other cultivation worlds to establish a cultivating family and pass on his bloodline.
After Zhou Yang discussed the specific plan with him, he returned directly to his family as he watched him off.
After returning to the Zhou family, Zhou Yang immediately went to the Haoyang Mountain Lingmai and asked his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu to go to the Gao family's Lingshan Mountain to monitor and gather information.
When he came back a few years ago, he taught the "Golden Cicada Hidden Breath Technique" he received from Dong Jianping to several foundation-building monks in the family. Although Zhou Xuanyu was a demon cultivator, he did not have much ability in practicing such auxiliary secret techniques.
question.
She is now hiding her cultivation to monitor the Gao family, and there is basically no possibility of being discovered.
More than a month later, there was still no news from Zhou Xuanyu. Zhou Guangxiang, who was in seclusion on Yuquan Peak to build the foundation, succeeded in building the foundation as expected.
However, when Zhou Yang saw Zhou Guangxiang coming out of the cave to announce the good news, his expression changed instantly.
"What's going on? You didn't take the Foundation Building Pill I gave you?"
He looked at Zhou Guangxiang with a shocked and angry expression, and the joy on his face disappeared instantly.
Because Zhou Xuanhao and Huang Yi, two monks in the foundation-building stage who succeeded in building a foundation without relying on the foundation-building pill, appeared in the Zhou family, and Zhou Yang himself was a monk who succeeded in building a foundation by taking the foundation-building pill, so when he saw Zhou Guangxiang
After the unstable aura on his body, he immediately knew that Zhou Guangxiang had not taken the Foundation Establishment Pill to build the Foundation.
Because monks who take the Foundation Establishment Pill to build a foundation have the power of the Foundation Establishment Pill to protect and restore their bodies, they will never experience instability in their breath after building a foundation.
